Bruce, 37, beat 350 other contestants to secure the first place of overall winner, by impressing judges with his interpretation and execution of the 12 topics that were set as part of the Photomarathon competition.

The topics that participants were challenged with photographing were: My Entry Number & Who am I?, Poetry, Asymmetric, Space, Out and about, Behind the scenes, Animated, A bit on the side, Shadow, Mixed message, Elegant and Another perspective.

Now in its ninth year, Photomarathon is the competition which sees participants take 12 images on 12 given topics over the course of 12 hours, with all 12 images must be taken in the correct sequence. Judges then had the painstaking task of choosing one overall winner and 12 topic winners from among the 4,000 photographs that were submitted.

Mmbers of the public can see the results in a free two-week exhibition from 22 June–7 July at the First Floor Gallery at Cardiff Story Museum on The Hayes, Cardiff. Every single image taken on the day will be displayed, along with the winners of the competition.

Betina Skovbro, Photomarathon director and judge, said: ‘‘Every year, we are impressed with the standard of entries and the creative way in which people have interpreted the topics that we set."
